1 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 1: Do you ever have those enough is enough moments? You 2 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: probably had one today if you went to a normal 3 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,439 Speaker 1: job where you're you're in school. Well, it sounds like 4 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: shortly after lunch, by my estimation, Tennessee reached there enough 5 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: is enough point with the NCAA, and woo, do I 6 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: have some evidence to back it up? We are jam 7 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:36,480 Speaker 1: packed high atop a flustered downtown Nashville, Tennessee. We ourselves 8 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: are fine, but the city, at least the orange clad 9 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 1: portion of the city sort of in and up roar, 10 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 1: as is the entire state here and then the southeast 11 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,840 Speaker 1: and the nation has followed in with their own opinions. 12 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 1: NC DOUAA investigation point seven or comes to Knoxville. So 13 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about that. It's Tuesday Night, is January 14 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: thirtieth year of Our Lord, twenty twenty four. I got 15 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: some stuff on Sharon Moore and Michigan because we really 16 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: haven't talked about that on this show yet. I've got 17 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 1: a lot to say about some teams that may be 18 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 1: headed backwards this year. Normally like to keep it up 19 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: beat in the late winter early spring months, but we 20 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: do have to face reality time or two on the 21 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: show I've got Big ten and Big twelve schedule thoughts. 22 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: We've got a whole lot to get to on the 23 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 1: show tonight, and we will waste no further time. They're 24 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 1: watching us in Shiloh, Georgia, Louisville, Kentucky, Malibu, California, Texar, Canada, Texas. 25 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: Thank you guys so much. Always encourage you to be 26 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: following on the socials at Late Kick Josh because we 27 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: have some plans for maybe some live content on those 28 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: platforms that aren't on the YouTube channel. That's all I'll 29 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 1: say at this point, because it's still in the work 30 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: shopping phase. But at Late Kick Josh all kinds of 31 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: good stuff on Instagram and Twitter. You don't get here, well, 32 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: here we go. I know that you mostly saw the headlines, 33 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: but if you haven't, if you haven't, here we go. Colin, 34 00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: here's the endpoint. Tennessee reportedly is being investigated again by 35 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: the NCAA. I know what you're taking to yourself, Josh. 36 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: This is old news. They were already being investigated. No, friends, 37 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: this is a new investigation. It's the investigation after the investigation. 38 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 1: And this was reported earlier on today by Sports Illustrated 39 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: and it has since been verified nine ways from Sunday. 40 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: We even got a reply from Dondie Plowman, the chancellor 41 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: there at Tennessee. As a general rule on this show, 42 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: we have learned not to take NCUBA investigation seriously. But 43 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean they're not real. Just I don't put 44 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: a whole lot of credence in them. I don't take 45 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: them seriously because I don't take these people seriously. I 46 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: am very pro enforcement. Don't get me wrong. I'm very 47 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: pro rules and guidelines. Very noticed the wording here, very 48 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: clearly defined, enforceable guidelines. Your boys all for them. Peate 49 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: State's never been investigated. Okay, I'm all for them. That 50 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: is not what these people do. That's not what these 51 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: people are about. So we had that news come out, 52 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 1: oh mid to late morning, I would say, Jesse and 53 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: Colin and then the powers that be there in Knoxville. 54 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: They went and got a Caesar salad for lunch. They 55 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: came back to the office and they said, bring me 56 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: the blow torch. Dondee Plomin said, bring me the blow torch. 57 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: So Dondee Plowman is the chancellor at Tennessee. This is 58 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: a woman who has ascended to her position through things 59 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 1: like merit and hard work. She's very smart, very cerebral, 60 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: fiercely loyal, and will defend her university if necessary. So 61 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: naturally she eviscerated these people today because they fit none 62 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,959 Speaker 1: of those characteristics. So shortly after we got word that 63 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: they were being investigated before a notice of infractions had 64 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: been sent to the university, mind you, which means a 65 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: mouthpiece had to report it at the behest of the NCUBA. 66 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: Shortly after we got that this morning, we got this 67 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: from Dondee Plowman in response quote. Earlier today, a team 68 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: from the University of Tennessee met with members of your 69 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: enforcement staff to discuss allegations the NCAA intends to bring 70 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: against Tennessee related to NIOL. We appreciate your staff listening 71 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: to our arguments and agreeing to evaluate them. The NCAA's 72 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: alleygations are factually untrue and procedurally flawed. Moreover, it is 73 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: intellectually dishonest for your enforcement staff to pursue infractions cases 74 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: as as student athletes have no nil rights and as 75 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: if institutions pay attention. Here have all been functioning post 76 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: alston with a clear and unchanging set of rules and 77 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: willfully violating them. You notice what she said there. Naturally 78 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: she responded that way, because that's how you have to 79 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: deal with these people. Now. When I say things like that, 80 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: if you're new to college athletics, if you just decided 81 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 1: you're going to be a college sports fan in the 82 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: past year, let's say college football, basketball, whatever, you may 83 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: come in on chapter eighteen of the book, and you 84 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: may be watching this play out saying, what's this woman's problem? 85 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 1: If they broke rules, certainly they have to be punished, right. 86 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: I want to encourage you, guys, you would probably serve 87 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 1: your best interest to zoom way way out on this thing, 88 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: independent of whatever comes out with Tennessee. I don't care 89 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: if you're a Bama fan and you hate these people 90 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 1: with every fiber of your being. I don't care. If 91 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 1: you're a Georgia fan, I don't care. You need to 92 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: zoom it out for the greater good, because this is 93 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: like the coyote wandering the neighborhood. The coyote got the 94 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: neighbor's cat last night. I didn't like that cat. Anyway. 95 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 1: You really need to go after the coyote because it's 96 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: gonna come for yours the next night. These people will 97 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: eventually come for yours because you are in a world, 98 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: as Dondie Plowman said, where you have not had a 99 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: clear and unchanging set of rules, and you haven't been 100 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: willfully violating them. In some cases, it's just been you 101 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: got one set the one day and then another set 102 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: the next day. And so who in the world knows 103 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: how to operate? Remember Tesz Walker. They don't want you to, 104 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna remind you. I remember Taz Walker. Remember 105 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: how I sat at this desk leading into the twenty 106 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: twenty three college football season, and there was this receiver 107 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: that was set to play for North Carolina and he 108 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: had only played at one other university through some weird 109 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: transfer stuff, he had transferred multiple times, but he had 110 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: never played anywhere other than Kent State. And he transfers 111 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: to North Carolina and everyone assumes he's going to be eligible, 112 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: and then the sc doublea all of a sudden just 113 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: decides no, he's not eligible, and everyone's beside themselves, what 114 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: are you talking about? Then North Carolina appeals and then 115 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: we wait and wait and wait, and we're week of 116 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: the game, where seventy two hours, forty eight hours, twenty 117 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: four hours away from the game, North Carolina announces he's 118 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: not going to be able to play. Week one, NCUBLEA 119 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: upholds their decision to not make him eligible, and then 120 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: weeks into the season, all of a sudden, he's eligible. 121 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: And you know what, they had the audacity to say. 122 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: They had the audacity to say, well, you should have 123 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: filed your paperwork right the first time. Like that, That's 124 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: what happened. What really happened is legal minds who are 125 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 1: not only capable of matching wits, but more so so 126 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: capable of playing whack a mole with the NCAA got 127 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 1: involved and they realized, oh, we actually don't have a 128 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: leg to stand on. We're kind of sort of screwing 129 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: this kid. And even if we do have nomenclature that 130 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: we can hide behind. Is our entire purpose not to 131 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: serve a student athlete. In other words, it is our 132 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: entire purpose not to help this kid find a way 133 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: to get eligible if there is a way. So anyway, 134 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: I want you to remember that because it was that night. 135 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: It was that that finally was my last straw. I 136 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: don't know what yours is, or if you've had yours yet, 137 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: but that was my last straw. Some of you may 138 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: say it took you that long, Well, I held out hope, 139 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: but there is no hope for this organization. They are 140 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: a hopeless people, and we are as well as a 141 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: college football public if we are continuing to depend on 142 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: them for enforcement. In no merit based world do these 143 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: people have jobs. It's never. It's never the case in 144 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: the merit based world. Imagine for a second, you work 145 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: in construction. I've done this before. Imagine you work in 146 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: construction and you show up to the job site one 147 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: week and they there's your schematic, and there's the overall blueprint, 148 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: and here, here's lumber here, and here's HVAC. And then 149 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: the next monday you show up the plans have changed. 150 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,119 Speaker 1: And yet what are we gonna do? Well, we can't 151 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: reverse what we already built, so I guess we're just 152 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: gonna kind of go buy these plans. Now. Then you 153 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: show up the next monday and you got a whole 154 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: new set of HVAC instructions and you got a new 155 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: angle that they want the ceiling built at, and you 156 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: have no choice but to keep going. You're working on 157 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: a deadline. And fast forward six months. The house is 158 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: built and then the inspector shows up and says, this 159 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 1: house doesn't look right. I'm gonna punish you. What would 160 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: you do. Anyone in their right mind would say, well, 161 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: you kind of put us in an impossible situation because 162 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: the rules kept changing. That's what Dondie Plowman's saying. Saying, 163 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: you fools actually have the audacity to change the rules 164 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: the eleventh hour of every day and then look at 165 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 1: us and think we're supposed to enforce it. And by 166 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: the way, it's not just like like wind direction changing. Okay, 167 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: that's as simple the south, southwest and north northeast in 168 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 1: the end. In this world, please understand, these are entire 169 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: major organizations that you're trying to run. And so if 170 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: you change guidelines today on January thirtieth, I have to 171 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: then completely restructure my organization or my player personnel, or 172 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: my NIL or my recruiting department. And I'm hopefully building 173 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,079 Speaker 1: and then I'm hiring to build a structure to adhere 174 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: to your guidelines. And that's a six to twelve month process, 175 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: and then eight months into it, you change the guidelines again. 176 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: And all the while you're telling me some rules got broken. 177 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: You're telling me some corners got cut. That's not the problem. 178 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: I'm pro enforcement. I would love to see guidelines on 179 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: this whole thing. These aren't the people to do it is. 180 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: Her point is my point, is everyone's point, which brings 181 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: me to my next point, and that is what's Greg 182 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: sink you got to say about this. I assume he's 183 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: not gonna step to a podium in Birmingham anytime soon 184 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: and have the SEC Commissioner's Office speaking out on this, 185 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: but he's got to have something to say about it. 186 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 1: The Conference of the League Office has to have something 187 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: to say about this, because they're not anti enforcement either. 188 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: In fact, I think there's probably a world not too 189 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: far down the road where conferences police themselves a whole 190 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: lot more strictly and effectively than the NCAA ever has 191 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: been able to. I'm not sure when that happens, but 192 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: most informed people in the industry think that's where we're headed. 193 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: Are we really ever going to get to a point 194 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: in this investigation or any major investigation forthcoming where a 195 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: league office like the SEC or the Big Ten allows 196 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: the NCAA to come down on one of their member 197 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: institutions in a world that was de facto created to 198 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: be as big a mess as it is because of 199 00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: the very body that is investigating and handing down punishment. 200 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: Are they really gonna let that happen? I don't think so. 201 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 1: Some people said today, well, what about the Michigan situation. 202 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: The Michigan situation, regardless of what you thought about it, 203 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: that's totally different. That's not an infraction that's related to 204 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: recruiting in NIL that's its own different universe over here. 205 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: And we've talked about that a lot on the show. 206 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 1: If Michigan were being investigated like they were before, I'm 207 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: not talking about the Stallion stuff, but like they were before, 208 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: I would be an advocate for Michigan as a university 209 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: hardlining against the NCAA, which they didn't do, by the way, 210 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: and I thought it was very short sighted of them, 211 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: and a lot of their fan base has come to 212 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 1: agree with that. You got to handle these people at 213 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: the NCAA like Dondie Plowman and Tennessee did today and 214 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: anyone else moving forward, that these people try and come 215 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: down on and actually have the audacity to try and 216 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 1: punish for things they did in an environment that was 217 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,559 Speaker 1: created to be a mess by the very folks investigating 218 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: you gotta shoot back. You gotta fire back at them. 219 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: It's not hard to match wits with them. These aren't 220 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: talented people. That's why they have the jobs they have 221 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 1: to begin with. So it's not that hard to match 222 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,079 Speaker 1: wits with them. Just stop being scared. It is a tiger. 223 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: It's just a paper tiger. You don't have to fear 224 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: these people. And it is my belief that long before 225 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: a hammer actually drops on Tennessee, the SEC League Office 226 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: will step in on this. I maybe think they won't 227 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,839 Speaker 1: need to because it sounds like Tennessee has their ducks 228 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: in a row on this. But should the situation arise, 229 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: I don't think Greg Sinki and the SEC are going 230 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: to allow it. Now that opens a whole new can 231 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: of worms if we were to get to that point, 232 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: and I understand that, and we don't have time for 233 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: that on tonight's show. But the NCAA investigating Tennessee, all right, 234 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: we'll probably have more to say about that. Let's move on. 235 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: Welcome to the show tonight. If you're watching live, especially 236 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: appreciate it. Make sure you subscribe to the channel, and 237 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: like the video really helps us out. We'd like to 238 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: put Bradley through college Bradley. You graduated already, didn't you. 239 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: Never mind, we would like to support whatever Bradley wants 240 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: to do next in life, so subscribe to the channel 241 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: so we can do so. All right, I have not 242 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,199 Speaker 1: been able to talk about this yet, so let's talk 243 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: about it now. I got a loaded show tonight. I 244 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: got a ton of different things to get to, so 245 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: thank you for listening and watching. Michigan has hired Sharon 246 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: Moore permanently now as head coach. I always love seeing 247 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: programs be able to promote from within. Now, hopefully fingers crossed, 248 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: you have the right candidates within your organization so you 249 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: can promote from within. Michigan feels like they have that. 250 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: The strength and conditioning coach also moved on and they 251 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: promoted from within. So a lot of big names have 252 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: hit the exit door following a national championship, players and coaches, 253 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: and now they've promoted from with them. At least they've 254 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: tried to as much as they can. And so the 255 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: Charon More era begins there at Michigan. What's realistic here 256 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 1: in terms of expectation? What's realistic? I think giving him time, No, 257 00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: I don't know how many years that means but I 258 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: think giving him time is something you gotta do, and 259 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: I think they will. He's at the right place, Sharome 260 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: Moore is at the right place. If it's patience you're 261 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: looking for. Michigan's not a microwave program. They even saw 262 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: that under Harball. If they were a microwave program, meaning 263 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: they want the results and they want him now, they 264 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: would have fired Harball long before he had a chance 265 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: to start post twenty twenty, scaling those results to what 266 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: eventually became a three year run of playoff appearances culminating 267 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: in a national championship. They never would have gotten there 268 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: if they didn't have patients. So I think they'll have 269 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: patience with him because the program has to take a 270 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: step back. At least logic would tell us programs got 271 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: to take a step back in on field result. How 272 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: could you not or if they don't, let me put 273 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: it this way. Sharme Moore's coach of the year material 274 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: in year one, but it's reasonable to expect him to 275 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: take a step back. Jim Harball, had he remained the 276 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: head coach, probably would have taken a step back. I mean, 277 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: how can you be better than undefeated national champion? You 278 00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: really can't. So that was gonna happen anyway. How big 279 00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: is the step back? You enter a whole new world 280 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: of everyone targeting you. You got the target on your back, 281 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: you got the new Big Ten to deal with with 282 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: more new members in coming. So I don't know. I 283 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: will not say that I turned cartwheels and thought it 284 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: was a slam dunk. But you know what, that doesn't 285 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: matter because we don't know Sharon Moore. Michigan does. You've 286 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: never seen him. I've never seen him as a permanent 287 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: head coach. So you know, Sharon Moore looks in the mirror, 288 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: he knows himself. The folks he's worked with, inside that 289 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: building and inside that organization, they know him. The players 290 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: know him. You know what one of the telltale signs 291 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: is to me is that no one has said anything 292 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: other than great things about him. That doesn't guarantee wins, 293 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: It doesn't guarantee championships. What it does guarantee is the 294 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: organization believes in him, which is a very very important 295 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: aspect of this. Make no mistake. So they believe in him. 296 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: That means they'll fight for him. And think about this, 297 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: if you're inside Michigan, if you're an offensive line coach, congratulations, 298 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: Grant Newsom, by the way, or if you're a secondary coach, 299 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: or if you're a nutritionist or whoever it is. And 300 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: you know Charon Wore and you've got a place that 301 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: preaches Michigan man, the Michigan way, and then you know 302 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: Harball leaves, Well, you're looking at leadership and you're saying, 303 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: do we really believe this or are you guys going 304 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: to go and hire someone outside that has nothing to 305 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: do with Michigan and kind of fly in the face 306 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: of what you preach around here. Well, when they promote 307 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: from with them, you take it upon yourself to make 308 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: sure they feel that their decision was validated. You go 309 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: to war for the guy, You go over the cliff 310 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,359 Speaker 1: for the guy. So that attitude surely permeates through Shambeckler 311 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: Hall and beyond. I don't doubt that. But even if 312 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: you have all that, it's really hard to win. So 313 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: that's not the end all be all, but that is 314 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: a core tenet of what I think Michigan football will 315 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: be under Charome Moore. You know what the perception hurdle 316 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 1: will be with him? Ironically, is Ryan Day heard and 317 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: Sam web earlier today say, hey, Ryan Day's got no 318 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 1: excuse now, and I get what he's saying there. But 319 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 1: you know what else I think may enter the equation 320 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,719 Speaker 1: if Sharon Moore doesn't win immediately, is there is a portion, 321 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: not the whole thing, but there's a portion of the 322 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 1: Michigan fan base that has spent the better part of 323 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: the last half decades screaming that Ryan Day was born 324 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: on third base. Why cause he didn't have to build 325 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 1: Ohio State from the ground up, and he didn't have 326 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: to go toil Away and some Tier two or Tier 327 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 1: three job in the MAC. His first head coaching job was, 328 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: as they would say, handed to him on a silver platter, 329 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,719 Speaker 1: and it was post Urban Meyer, and it was a 330 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: turnkey contender and all he had to do was sit 331 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: in the driver's seat and put on a seat belt 332 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 1: and boom. There's not much you have to build. There's 333 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: just something you have to maintain. Now, I think that 334 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: short sighted, and that's not exactly the way it works, 335 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: but that's what a lot of people think when they 336 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: look at Ryan Day better or worse. I say that 337 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 1: because you cannot have yelled that Ryan Day over the 338 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: past several years and then look at Sharon Moore if 339 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 1: he doesn't win immediately and say anything other than that, 340 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh and that entire staff, the literal last thing 341 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: they did before they left was celebrate a national championship win. 342 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 1: So you can have no more ready made winner than 343 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: that handed over to you. I don't think that means 344 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: you don't deserve it. I don't even think the born 345 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,160 Speaker 1: on third base thing's true in a lot of ways. 346 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 1: I get the principal behind it. But if you don't 347 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: think that Ryan Day was well qualified for that job, 348 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 1: or Lincoln Riley when he got Oklahoma, we just disagree 349 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: on that. Sharon Moore, I think's qualified to get this 350 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: head coaching job. But there's also reality that enters into 351 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: the equation, and that is there are no shortcuts to 352 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: learning the lessons you have to learn as a head coach. 353 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: I say this all the time. It's not a Sharon 354 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: more specific point that I'm making here. I say it 355 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: all the time. Kirby had to learn HM Kirby almost 356 00:18:56,119 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: lost to Nichols State his first year at Georgia, like 357 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 1: Nichols had them beat in Athens, and yet he's gone 358 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 1: on to now be considered one of, if not the 359 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 1: best head coaches in America. So even if Sharon Moore 360 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 1: is to enjoy that kind of trajectory, it won't come 361 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 1: without bumps. And in fairness, in engaging the Michigan fan 362 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 1: base on this, I think most of them are realistic 363 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 1: on this. I don't talk to many Michigan folks who say, hey, 364 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: we better not see much of a drop off, or 365 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,360 Speaker 1: else we got to rethink this whole thing. I think 366 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 1: most of them are realistic. It's not, hey, let's make 367 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: sure we make a Bowl game next year, but it's 368 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 1: also not we better be back in Indianapolis or else. 369 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: I think they get it, and I think they also understand. 370 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: What they're not interested in is being like some of 371 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: these other universities that seem to have coaching searches every 372 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: two to three years. And if that means investing in 373 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: a guy and taking some lumps year one, year two 374 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: for him to be your guy year six, seven, eight, 375 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 1: then so be it. That's what they did with Harball 376 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 1: when he got back there, and Harball had head coach experience, 377 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,880 Speaker 1: so surely I expect them to do that with Sharon Moore. 378 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: But like I said, Harball would have taken a step back. 379 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: Had he returned, the on field product may have taken 380 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: a step back. So let's have some patience here. I'm 381 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: talking nationally as well. The expectations probably gonna be out 382 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: of whack. Let's have some patience here. Academy Sports and Outdoors. 383 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 1: How do I mix in patients? I would say more 384 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: so than patients. If you go to Academy Sports and Outdoors, 385 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: you need to just have some time. This is not 386 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: the kind of place where I think if you've never 387 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 1: been in there before, you're walking in and then walking 388 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 1: out within five minutes. And that's even if you have 389 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 1: in your mind one thing that you want to purchase. 390 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: You walk in and you say, I never knew they 391 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 1: had this that, Matt, but they do. I don't even 392 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 1: know what the this is and the that's are. I 393 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: don't know how you live your life. I don't know 394 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: what you value. You may need a soccer goal, you 395 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 1: may need a street hockey stick, Jesse. We need to 396 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 1: check and see if they have those. I'm pretty sure 397 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: they do. Maybe just a pouch of great big league 398 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,959 Speaker 1: chew at the checkout counter, whatever it is, they get 399 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 1: you covered. Academy dot Com is where you go if 400 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: you can't get there in person, Academy Sports and Outdoors. 401 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 1: You know it. You know what's coming is even though 402 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: it's been cold most everywhere, that day's coming, probably in 403 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: the next two or three weeks, even in the North 404 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 1: where maybe not the North, but maybe in the mid 405 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: mid levels of the United States, where you get that 406 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: random sixty two degree day that lets you know spring 407 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: is on the way, and everyone's gonna be all pale looking, 408 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: and everyone's gonna be outside, and it's gonna give you hope. 409 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 1: It's gonna give you hope. The sun's not always gonna 410 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: set it four forty five in Nashville. Eventually we'll have 411 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: sun past seven and it'll be nice and the birds 412 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: will be singing and flowers will be blooming, and Academy 413 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 1: will be open for all of your outdoor recreational needs 414 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 1: and grilling and camping and all the in between. So 415 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: Academy dot com if you can't get there in person, 416 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 1: preferably just Academy Sports and Outdoors if you can't get there. 417 00:21:55,240 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 1: If you can't get there in person, all right, let's continue. 418 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: So I venture onto the internet the other day as 419 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,199 Speaker 1: I'm wont to do, and I asked you guys, what 420 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: do you think the biggest story will be in twenty 421 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 1: twenty four, not including what's already happened. Saban retiring is 422 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: obviously a leader in the clubhouse. Let's move past that 423 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,199 Speaker 1: and let's wonder amongst ourselves. Okay, what could be? What 424 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: could be on par with that? You know, what could 425 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 1: be coming down the room. So Colin, here's an endpoint 426 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 1: for you. What do you think the biggest story this 427 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,679 Speaker 1: year in college football will be? And one of you 428 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 1: came out and you had a very interesting point about realignment, 429 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 1: cause I think some folks' minds are shaped in a 430 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: way that, oh, realignments behind us. Now, Well, Dylan came 431 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: out and said conference realignment again, Big ten and SEC 432 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,640 Speaker 1: scooping up some ACC and maybe a surprise SEC team 433 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: trying to go to the Big ten. So Dylan thinks, hey, 434 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: we're not done. We're not done with realignment. And I 435 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 1: know what most of you, well, I know some of 436 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: you at least are thinking, how could that be part possible? 437 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 1: Who else can move? Everyone's locked in? Right? The SEC 438 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 1: is at what's sixteen and the Big Tens at sixteen? 439 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 1: Whatever they're at, I can't even remember now. The pac 440 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: twelves no more, or if it is, it's not what 441 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,199 Speaker 1: it once was. And you got the big twelve. But 442 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: everything's kind of on hold now right Well, yes and no. 443 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 1: So the big fight going on right now is with 444 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: the ACC. And the big fight is some member institutions, 445 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: notably Florida State, openly trying to get out of the prison. 446 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: They are taking the spoon from the mess hall every 447 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: evening and they are slowly trying to tunnel their way 448 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: out of there, and then Roquel Welch Poster covers it 449 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,120 Speaker 1: up when they go for count every morning. That's fsu 450 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: right now. The follow up to that, I think for 451 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 1: most people is, well, that doesn't matter. They can't get 452 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,199 Speaker 1: out because of that granted right steal or grant of 453 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: rights deal, and that's boring. Just know that allegedly means 454 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: they're locked in with the ACC through twenty three five 455 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 1: or thirty six. Well, in a world or in a 456 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 1: sense in this world, that's true. Just remember this. I 457 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: said this a month ago, vaguely, and I'm gonna say 458 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 1: it again vaguely. ESPN does not hold some of the 459 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 1: cards here. ESPN holds all of the cards because it 460 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:22,400 Speaker 1: is ESPN with which they have that deal as a conference, 461 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: that grant of rights deal. That's who they're locked in with. 462 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: And I can assure you and they know what I'm 463 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: about to say is true. They know there are certain 464 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 1: key dates in the not too distant future where if 465 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 1: ESPN really wanted to, they could pull one lever and 466 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: that thing dissolves. And you know what happens if they 467 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: pull that lever. Not only is Florida State free to 468 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: go wherever they want to, but so is Virginia Tech 469 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: North Carolina. The acc kind of dissolves, or at least 470 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 1: it's up in the air. It's in a state of flux, 471 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, the prison door is just open, 472 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: and everyone is this a syop? Is this a test? 473 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: And Florida State says, don't care. Oh and it's run 474 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 1: down the hallway and they're out. So one of the 475 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 1: red flags on this, one of the tells on this, ironically, 476 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,199 Speaker 1: was when Florida State got snubbed for a college football 477 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: playoff spot. And you may have watched that from a distance, 478 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 1: and you may have thought what you thought about Florida State, 479 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 1: but let's say you thought they belonged in the playoff. 480 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: The fans were angry. The fans lashed out, But maybe 481 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 1: you found yourself saying, why hasn't the university lashed out anymore? 482 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: And maybe you even more specifically found yourself saying, why 483 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: hasn't the university lashed out against certain media entities ESPN included, 484 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,640 Speaker 1: because maybe you thought there were certain personalities at ESPN 485 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: that used that megasports platform to lobby against Florida State's 486 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: inclusion in the playoff. Now, this is not a radical opinion. 487 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,399 Speaker 1: Many people share this thought about Florida State and how 488 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 1: they got left out independent of my thought on it. 489 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 1: That's that's what many people believe. So you may have 490 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: found yourself saying, wow, I can't believe the university didn't 491 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 1: try and come out more fervently against this. Well, imagine 492 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 1: the rock in a hard place that you're between as 493 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 1: a university. If on one hand, you think you just 494 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: got screwed out of a playoff spot and some people 495 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,400 Speaker 1: with large microphones in front of them at a certain 496 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 1: four letter network did you no favors? But then on 497 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 1: the other side, they hold your entire future in their 498 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: hands because it's them and them alone who hold the 499 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: key to open that cell door. You're in how would 500 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,360 Speaker 1: you act? You would probably find the nearest pillow, put 501 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 1: it over your face, scream into it for five minutes, 502 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: and then going about your business. That's all you can do. 503 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: That's all you can do because being snub from the 504 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,160 Speaker 1: playoff that's a hearing now. But the fate of your future, 505 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 1: that's it that. If you don't have that, you don't 506 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 1: have anything. So long story short, Dylan, I don't know 507 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: if it's going to happen in twenty twenty four, but 508 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be some prized at all if we have 509 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:08,160 Speaker 1: more headlines and more news on even more conference realignment. Now, 510 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: the follow up that I'm going to leave you with 511 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,439 Speaker 1: because I don't know the answer, is where would Florida 512 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: State go? And when we were at the National Championship 513 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: Game in Houston, I talked to some people about many 514 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: things along these lines, and one of them I've tried 515 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 1: to ask as many folks as I could is where 516 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 1: do you think Florida State would land if they could 517 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: get out today? And there was some stuff I can't 518 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 1: share with you, but it's nothing groundbreaking. But what I 519 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: can share with you is there was no consensus and 520 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 1: there was no person. There was no person who you 521 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,160 Speaker 1: could tell really had that answer and either couldn't tell 522 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 1: you or they told you but told you to shut 523 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 1: your mouth and keep it quiet. I don't think anyone 524 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: has a firm grasp SEC big ten independence. Where would 525 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: they go? I don't know. So that's one thing to 526 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 1: keep an eye on. Another submission that we had. Let 527 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: me take a sip from the tach here, because this 528 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 1: is this is what we call a trouble maker tweet 529 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:12,199 Speaker 1: from a trouble maker in and of himself. So what 530 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: could the biggest story in college football be this year? 531 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: Take a look at what our buddy bar two said. 532 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 1: Dave bar two said, the Southeastern Conference, the year after 533 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 1: they should have been shut out of the playoffs, get 534 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: at least three teams in the final four. This is 535 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: a trouble maker tweet. This is an agitation tweet, and 536 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 1: it's gonna work. I know it's gonna work. So forget 537 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: about this past year, the pass of the past. We're 538 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 1: going to a twelve team playoff this year. So bar 539 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: two is not saying the SEC will have three of 540 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: the top four ranked teams in the playoff. I think 541 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 1: that's impossible. Actually, given the way the seating works this year, 542 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 1: we'll see about the future. But once we get in 543 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: the playoff, then it's on. You know. Then we're gonna 544 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: have that great experiment play out that we've all wondered 545 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: about for so long, and that is if you expand 546 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: the playoff. Once the playoff happens, will seeding really matter 547 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: or will these power conferences? See there? I only want 548 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: to say it that way because that's a for sure 549 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: immunity at my front door. Will the cream rise and 550 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: just be labeled SEC Big ten or maybe just SEC? 551 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 1: So I had producer Jesse pull some odds for me 552 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: because this is what we have to go on in 553 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: late January early February. So our buddies at FanDuel, they 554 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 1: do have National Championship odds already up for the twenty 555 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 1: twenty four Slash five National Championship Game. Nine of the 556 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 1: top seventeen teams in the championship odds market right now 557 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 1: are SEC teams. Three of the top four are SEC teams. 558 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 1: It goes Georgia, Ohio, State, Texas, Alabama, and then Oregon 559 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: LSUS their ole Miss. How about ole Miss is a 560 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: top five or top ten rather odds team? Yeah, So 561 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 1: of the top twenty five. If you look at the 562 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: twenty four to seven Sports, there's a lot of numbers here. 563 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: The twenty four to seven sports composite team talent metric, 564 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 1: which just tries to loosely gauge how talented the rosters are. 565 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: Twelve of the top twenty five teams in that are 566 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 1: SEC teams. So the top of these odds boards, the 567 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 1: top of the team rankings, they're gonna be littered with 568 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: SEC teams. But can they really get three out of 569 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 1: four in the semi final? Well, yeah, they absolutely can. 570 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 1: This wouldn't be a shocker to me. This is gonna happen. 571 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: Maybe not this year, but something like this is inevitable, 572 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: Right the SEC just randomly having a year where they 573 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: get three or maybe even four out of the final four, 574 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 1: that's inevitable. That's gonna happen at some point. That's not 575 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: the question to me. The question to me that I'll 576 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: sit back in the corner and laugh at is what's 577 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: the reaction gonna be, specifically from the expansionist crowd. What's 578 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 1: the reaction gonna be? Because I look as I would 579 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,040 Speaker 1: look at a kid at Golden Corral, don't hate on 580 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: Golden Corral. Don't you let me catch you hating on 581 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 1: Golden Corral. And you know, on one hand, you got 582 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: the kid. You got a little kid over here who's 583 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: had a nice balanced diet put in front of him 584 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: for quite a while and gets dessert at the end, 585 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: and that should be good enough. But then someone somewhere 586 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: along the way told that kid he should just be 587 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: able to get whatever he wants. And he pounded his 588 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: hand on the table and said, I want dessert for 589 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: every meal. And you know what, since he wants it. 590 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 1: He's nine years old, he's old enough to think for himself. 591 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 1: Just give him dessert every meal. And all of a 592 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: sudden he can't fit through the door frame. And he's 593 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: four hundred punds before, he's a sophomore in high school. 594 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 1: And he looks and says, well, this isn't what I 595 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 1: had in mind. I didn't know if this would be 596 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 1: the result. A lot of you want to expand a playoff, 597 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: and then you're gonna have to sit there and embrace 598 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 1: the reality of LSU versus Alabama over here and Georgia 599 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 1: playing Oregon over there, and high likelihood of an All 600 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: SEC championship game and you're gonna say, well, this isn't 601 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 1: what we signed up for, an expanded why I'm supposed 602 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: to give us more parody, and then that little chorus that 603 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 1: a lot of you saying of, well, it's not about 604 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: the destination, it's about the journey. At least we'll have 605 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: more representation in the playoff field. All of a sudden, 606 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: that courus will go silent because you'll realize, actually, every 607 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: postseason in the history of humanity has been about the 608 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 1: same thing, and that's crowning a champion. That's what they're 609 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 1: all about. The only minor exception is the NCAA basketball tournament, 610 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 1: which has a field of about one hundred and forty 611 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 1: teams at this point. And yes, there are first round 612 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: matchups featuring teams that you know have likely no shot 613 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 1: at winning the four or five games they need to 614 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: win to win at all. But you know, you can 615 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 1: have a fifteen over a two, and that's fun. That's 616 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: where the comparison between basketball and football ends. This twelve 617 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: team playoff is about crowning a champ, and there is 618 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 1: no solace in well, we locked down an eleven seed 619 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 1: and got blown out by thirty at the hands of 620 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 1: nine to three LSU. But it's fun. It lasted that 621 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 1: that won't last long, and so that's what I'll look 622 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 1: forward to seeing, because you know, I didn't want to 623 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: be here, but we are here now. Just beware, this 624 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 1: will rhyme. This is fortune cookie logic, This will rhyme, 625 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 1: so it'll be easy. MEMI used to tell me Joshua, 626 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 1: if they ever expand that playoff, beware the nine and 627 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: three sec because that's the most dangerous fin in the water. 628 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 1: When we get into the expanded playoff era, you're gonna 629 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 1: have your precious four seed that won the AAC and 630 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 1: somehow got a first round by because auto bid, and 631 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: you got the nine and three Tennessee fin out there 632 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 1: just offshore. And no, they don't get home field advantage 633 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: and they don't get a first round by, But buddy, 634 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 1: they got Niko Aamalaiava and they got a top ten 635 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 1: talent roster any given year, and when they're put on 636 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 1: the same field as you in a post season setting, 637 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,479 Speaker 1: you're gonna find that you aren't always what your record 638 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:02,240 Speaker 1: says you are. Now less than ever, you aren't always 639 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,880 Speaker 1: what your record says you are. So hey, embrace the 640 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,800 Speaker 1: horror because it's here. Other than that, though, should be 641 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,360 Speaker 1: a really fun season. Let's move on. Speaking of this season, 642 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 1: we have more schedule releases. You know, I prayed for 643 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,279 Speaker 1: a world where we could actually release schedules like this, 644 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,040 Speaker 1: where we didn't have to release the twenty thirty two 645 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: schedule in twenty twenty four, we could just wait until 646 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 1: the first few weeks of that year to release that 647 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:33,439 Speaker 1: season's schedule. And we're there now. And today I'm gonna 648 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 1: take a sip from the chaalice and I'm gonna tell 649 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 1: you what we learned today and today as we're recordings Tuesday, 650 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 1: January thirty and we're not recording, we're live because I 651 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,799 Speaker 1: can prove it. See it's seven thirty four. How could 652 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,399 Speaker 1: I have done that if we're not live? The Big 653 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 1: Twelve release their schedule today. This is spicy. We got 654 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 1: a new Big twelve. Obviously, we've got Texas know you out, 655 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 1: and we've got we've got programs joining and so you 656 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: need to use memory flashcards to try and familiarize yourself 657 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,840 Speaker 1: with the new landscape of college football. But you know 658 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 1: what my biggest takeaway was Colorado was done no favors 659 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 1: with this new schedule. They released. They play five of 660 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 1: the top odds teams in the Big Twelve. Remember it's 661 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 1: January thirtieth right now, so we don't have over underwin totals. 662 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,239 Speaker 1: We don't have a preseason JP pole or an AP pole. So, 663 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,440 Speaker 1: for very broad strokes purposes, when I mentioned the top 664 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 1: teams in a conference, I am strictly looking at FanDuel 665 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: and I'm taking their national championship oods because that's a 666 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: good enough metric in January to go by. Colorado plays 667 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 1: the top five odds teams in the Big Twelve. This 668 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,839 Speaker 1: upcoming year, they play seven of the top eight. Colorado 669 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 1: has done no favors West Virginia. They got the toughest 670 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 1: non conference slate here. They play Penn State at home. 671 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,959 Speaker 1: They go two pit. Penn State is the Week one game, 672 00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 1: just like it was last year. So that's that's not easy. 673 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 1: They also, at West Virginia play four of the top 674 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:07,840 Speaker 1: five odds teams in the Big twelve. So West Virginia 675 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,880 Speaker 1: did not get the easiest draw in the world. Now, 676 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 1: like I told you about Syracuse and the ACC, there's 677 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:19,720 Speaker 1: always that sleeper schedule, and you know who the sleeper 678 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,000 Speaker 1: schedule is. Does anyone want to guess before I just 679 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,319 Speaker 1: throw it out there? Does anyone want to guess? It's 680 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,840 Speaker 1: Texas Tech, Texas Tech and Joey Maguire. A lot of 681 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,440 Speaker 1: folks had high expectation for Texas Tech last year, and 682 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,720 Speaker 1: they probably fell short of your expectation, and that means 683 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,279 Speaker 1: naturally the follow up year, what does everyone do? They 684 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,880 Speaker 1: take it personal because Texas Tech made them look dumb 685 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 1: with their prediction. Now they're going to take it out 686 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 1: on Texas Tech and predict them to do nothing. Meanwhile, 687 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 1: I'm sitting here saying, this is the sleeper schedule in 688 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,719 Speaker 1: the entire Big Twelve. They avoid Kansas State, they just 689 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,319 Speaker 1: don't play them. They avoid Utah, they don't play them. 690 00:36:55,520 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 1: They get Arizona after Arizona plays Utah, and they play 691 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,799 Speaker 1: six of the bottom seven odds teams in the Big 692 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 1: twelve sleeper schedule. Texas Tech, they're gonna deliver. Like TCU 693 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,719 Speaker 1: in years past under Gary Patterson, you expect something from 694 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 1: them one year and they do that exact thing. They 695 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,440 Speaker 1: just do it a year after you expected it. So boom, 696 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:21,760 Speaker 1: I'm circling Texas Tech over there. How about some schedule 697 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 1: imbalance spots. It's always fun it's like searching for land 698 00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 1: mines on a schedule grid. Arizona at Utah in week five? 699 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,840 Speaker 1: Why does this interest me? Well, Arizona's off of bye. 700 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 1: Good for Arizona. Utah is off back to back road games. 701 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,920 Speaker 1: I don't know how conference has allowed this to happen. Now. 702 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 1: I know schedule making is difficult. I know that, guys, 703 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,200 Speaker 1: But when one of your premier games in a given 704 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,960 Speaker 1: season features one team off a bye while another team 705 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:55,759 Speaker 1: has gone to I forget where they go. It's back 706 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 1: to back road games. That's difficult. That's a tough draw. Also, 707 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 1: the Kansas at Kansas State game in week nine very interesting. 708 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,359 Speaker 1: Kansas has a three week stretch that consists of a 709 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:13,440 Speaker 1: bye week, Houston at home, and then going down the 710 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:17,440 Speaker 1: road to play Kansas State. Kansas State goes to Colorado, 711 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,960 Speaker 1: all the way to West Virginia and then home against Kansas. 712 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:27,360 Speaker 1: So just some things to keep note up. Am I 713 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,880 Speaker 1: seeing this right? Colin? Does Kansas play someone called lynn Wood? 714 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,600 Speaker 1: They play? They play Lyndon Wood in week one? Jesse 715 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 1: mascot check on Lindon Wood. Please nothing wow? Assistant producer 716 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 1: opening here on Lake Kick Leo the Lion, the Lyndon 717 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,440 Speaker 1: Wood Lions head into Lawrence, although they're not playing their 718 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,760 Speaker 1: games at home this year, so where are they playing Arrowhead? 719 00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,400 Speaker 1: Will Lyndon would play a game in the home of 720 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,799 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs this upcoming year? Yes or no? 721 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:08,960 Speaker 1: Only time will tell Utah at Kansas, not Utah at Kansas. 722 00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,120 Speaker 1: Utah and Kansas, even though I just said what I 723 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:14,040 Speaker 1: said about Utah, I think they, along with Kansas, got 724 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:17,920 Speaker 1: some favorable schedule draws. Utah avoids three of the top 725 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,239 Speaker 1: four teams on the Odds board, and also they play 726 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,000 Speaker 1: four of the bottom five, so that back to back 727 00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:28,360 Speaker 1: road stretch, notwithstanding Utah could have been it could have 728 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,280 Speaker 1: been a much more difficult arrival in the Big twelve. 729 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:35,200 Speaker 1: And Kansas. I like Kansas is set up here. Kansas 730 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,799 Speaker 1: avoids seven of the top nine and they get to 731 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,960 Speaker 1: play Lindon Wood. As noted, they play six of the 732 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,520 Speaker 1: bottom seven teams in the odds and they have no 733 00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 1: back to back road games. So feel good about Kansas. 734 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,960 Speaker 1: Think Colorado kind of sort of got stabbed in the 735 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,759 Speaker 1: ribs with the schedule and makers of West Virginia no 736 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:57,640 Speaker 1: favors Texas Tech the sleeper schedule in this entire equation. 737 00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:00,839 Speaker 1: Let's move it on because we still have we got 738 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,759 Speaker 1: more things to hit here. What else do we have? 739 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:05,480 Speaker 1: You know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna take a 740 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:10,879 Speaker 1: rare turn down a negative street in a few minutes. Now, 741 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:12,480 Speaker 1: it's we're not going all the way to the end 742 00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,319 Speaker 1: of the cul de sac. I'm just gonna turn and 743 00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,120 Speaker 1: so we can look down the street at teams that 744 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,960 Speaker 1: may be regressing this upcoming year, not as far as 745 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,040 Speaker 1: we want to go in January. But first up, the 746 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:28,080 Speaker 1: transfer portal is kind of sort of subsided now, and 747 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:29,480 Speaker 1: I got some teams I want to talk to you 748 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,480 Speaker 1: about that I think kind of won this thing. Ole 749 00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 1: Miss clearly a team that is a winner in the 750 00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:38,480 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three Slash four Portal cycle, number one team 751 00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,200 Speaker 1: in the twenty four seven Sports Transfer Portal rankings. They 752 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,760 Speaker 1: got eight Blue Chippers, They got the number one defensive 753 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,080 Speaker 1: tackle in the country, they got the number two edge guy, 754 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,800 Speaker 1: number three linebacker, number four wide receiver, they took several dbs. 755 00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:54,960 Speaker 1: They essentially overhauled their entire defensive backfield. So that's not 756 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,040 Speaker 1: a guarantee of anything. As I always like to say, 757 00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,319 Speaker 1: that's like the bricks arriving on the palette. You have 758 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,920 Speaker 1: to build them into whatever you want them to be 759 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:06,359 Speaker 1: built into. But they're no strangers to this approach there, 760 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 1: and the expectations with ole Miss will be as high 761 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,279 Speaker 1: as they've ever been under Lane Kiff in this upcoming year. 762 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,920 Speaker 1: They had to do this, They had to go this route. 763 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:19,040 Speaker 1: What about FSU? So I think FSU under Mike Norvel 764 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,840 Speaker 1: have sort of become perennial portal winners as well PP 765 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,840 Speaker 1: dubs as we like to say. They added fifteen guys, 766 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,719 Speaker 1: They added ten four star rated players out of the 767 00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:32,560 Speaker 1: portal and dj Uyanglilea I think is probably the most 768 00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:36,880 Speaker 1: noteworthy because he's the quarterback. He went from Clemson to 769 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:40,319 Speaker 1: Oregon State and now to Florida State. And what you 770 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,040 Speaker 1: get there is two things. You get a bridge to 771 00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:46,239 Speaker 1: your future quarterback and they got a couple of them 772 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,919 Speaker 1: on campus. But you also get a guy who's been 773 00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:53,560 Speaker 1: around the league and he's experienced, he's mature and has 774 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,080 Speaker 1: seen a lot of stuff at this point, and he's 775 00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 1: plenty good enough for them to win with. So you 776 00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:02,480 Speaker 1: got that. They also added five guys from Alabama, who 777 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:04,960 Speaker 1: many of whom are gonna be able to play pretty quickly. 778 00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,080 Speaker 1: And you know what they're able to do now, Florida 779 00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:10,480 Speaker 1: State's able to be more selective. A couple of cycles ago, 780 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:16,960 Speaker 1: they were going into the portal as basically a survival mentality. 781 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,440 Speaker 1: We've got to get you, you you, and you are. 782 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,400 Speaker 1: We can't really do anything this year. Well, they still 783 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:26,320 Speaker 1: need the portal, but they don't need everything in the portal. 784 00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:29,799 Speaker 1: It's not like going in their supermarket sweep mentality and 785 00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:31,960 Speaker 1: just knock everything you can into your buggy and we'll 786 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 1: sort it out later. They may have still taken a 787 00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:36,920 Speaker 1: large quantity of guys. They're a lot more selective, and 788 00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,320 Speaker 1: the Florida State brand is a whole lot more attractive, 789 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,560 Speaker 1: so they're getting approached a whole lot more by guys 790 00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:46,280 Speaker 1: who do go in the portal. What about Texas. Texas 791 00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,360 Speaker 1: is rolling when it comes to talent acquisition, Texas is rolling. 792 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,919 Speaker 1: They got six out of the eight kids as blue 793 00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,440 Speaker 1: Chippers out of the portal. They added three wide receivers. 794 00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:59,320 Speaker 1: This was imperative. Ad Mitchell is gone, Xavier Worthy is gone, 795 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:03,000 Speaker 1: and they went and added three receivers that will be 796 00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,960 Speaker 1: immediate impact guys. I'm really excited to see what Isaiah 797 00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:10,040 Speaker 1: Bond is in that offense. They also got Nyeblack the 798 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:14,480 Speaker 1: tight end from Alabama, and so they backfilled their pass 799 00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:19,520 Speaker 1: catchers very effectively. Now they gotta pan out. They got 800 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,720 Speaker 1: to pan out, and as we have seen, portal acquisitions 801 00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,879 Speaker 1: do not pan out at as high a hit rate 802 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:30,960 Speaker 1: as traditional recruiting for obvious reasons. But Texas has been 803 00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:34,000 Speaker 1: really good at this great job by the way. I mean, 804 00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 1: just they had needs and they addressed them. And they're 805 00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,680 Speaker 1: also recruiting that position well too. But I think they 806 00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,720 Speaker 1: went twofold on that approach. What about Oregon, man, Oregon 807 00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,399 Speaker 1: killed it. Oregon keeps killing him. They got the number 808 00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:50,520 Speaker 1: three portal class. They added Dylan Gabriel and Dante more 809 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:54,360 Speaker 1: So they just basically watched bo Nicks walk out the 810 00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:58,760 Speaker 1: door and listen to people say, uh oh, quarterback questions 811 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,040 Speaker 1: in Oregon all of a sudden, and they just laughed 812 00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:05,200 Speaker 1: and they say, yeah, we got questions. Which of these 813 00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,520 Speaker 1: starting quarterbacks are we going to play this year? And 814 00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,799 Speaker 1: the answer is Dylan Gabriel in all likelihood. But Evan 815 00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:14,080 Speaker 1: Stewart came out there as well, former five star receiver, 816 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,000 Speaker 1: went to a and m was what it was there. 817 00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:21,360 Speaker 1: I circled his name and I was very very interested 818 00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:25,200 Speaker 1: in watching the semi recruitment process out of the portal. 819 00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:27,799 Speaker 1: I know there were some teams that were involved, other 820 00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:31,480 Speaker 1: teams chose not to be involved. Oregon wanted him, Oregon 821 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:35,960 Speaker 1: got him Jabari Mohammad, the corner from Washington. It was 822 00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,640 Speaker 1: sort of an Oregon Alabama battle. He goes to Oregon 823 00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:40,960 Speaker 1: the other day. That's a big get. They got four 824 00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,120 Speaker 1: dbs out of the portal. Oregon could win a national 825 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:47,080 Speaker 1: championship this year. I hope people understand that, and there 826 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,759 Speaker 1: will be a healthy amount of skepticism because they hadn't 827 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:51,880 Speaker 1: been in the playoff yet. So how they going to 828 00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:53,560 Speaker 1: go from not making the playoff to all of a 829 00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:56,439 Speaker 1: sudden they make the playoff and win all these games. Well, 830 00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:58,200 Speaker 1: with a lot of really good players, That's how they 831 00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:01,080 Speaker 1: would do it. It's not my prediction yet, but that's 832 00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,960 Speaker 1: how they would do it. Ohio State, I don't think 833 00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,200 Speaker 1: much more needs to be said about Ohio State. They 834 00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,759 Speaker 1: went and got their starting quarterback and Will Howard. They 835 00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:12,520 Speaker 1: went and got a starting running back in quin Shawn Judkins. 836 00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:16,239 Speaker 1: Now I'm a believer that traveon Henderson, if healthy, is 837 00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:17,719 Speaker 1: still going to be the number one running back on 838 00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,680 Speaker 1: that team, and he needs to be because he's an 839 00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:24,880 Speaker 1: Ohio State guy. But nevertheless, Quinchawn Judkins is a stud 840 00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:28,000 Speaker 1: in his own right. They got Caleb Downs, who may 841 00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,040 Speaker 1: very well be the best football player on that team 842 00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:32,960 Speaker 1: and just came there from Alabama. Julian Sayan could be 843 00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:36,160 Speaker 1: the quarterback of their future. They added three of the 844 00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:42,200 Speaker 1: top eight available players in the transfer portal. Translation, Ohio 845 00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,680 Speaker 1: State kind of sort of got it done. They went 846 00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:46,640 Speaker 1: and attacked the transfer portal and got it done. And 847 00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:49,640 Speaker 1: we always love the snow b role of Will Howard. 848 00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:52,640 Speaker 1: They're playing at Kansas State. All right, let's move along. 849 00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:57,120 Speaker 1: They're watching us in Syracuse, New York, Dothan, Alabama, Cape, 850 00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:01,400 Speaker 1: San Blast, Florida. Wherever you guys are watching, we sincerely 851 00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:04,680 Speaker 1: appreciate it. This is a tough, tough segment for me 852 00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,520 Speaker 1: that I'm about to do because I got it requested 853 00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:10,160 Speaker 1: a lot, and I don't. I don't normally like going 854 00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:13,200 Speaker 1: this route, but I'll do it because you guys asked 855 00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:20,439 Speaker 1: me too, I'll do it. And that segment is this one. 856 00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,399 Speaker 1: Ryan from Palm Bay, Florida, hit me and said, which 857 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,600 Speaker 1: teams do you think fall off in twenty twenty four? 858 00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,800 Speaker 1: Now I can only take this to mean, which teams 859 00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,680 Speaker 1: do I think have a worse record this upcoming year 860 00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,799 Speaker 1: than last year. Some of this is easy, because some 861 00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,200 Speaker 1: of this is look at the teams that went undefeated, 862 00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,080 Speaker 1: it's gonna be really hard for them to go undefeated again. 863 00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:45,319 Speaker 1: So like Washington, it's very obvious to anyone who's paying 864 00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:49,520 Speaker 1: attention Washington's record will dip this year. Washington lost their 865 00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:52,840 Speaker 1: head coach, they're oc their DC. They lost twenty of 866 00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:57,520 Speaker 1: twenty two starters, including their entire offense, and that also 867 00:46:57,520 --> 00:46:59,920 Speaker 1: includes that entire offensive line that won the Joe Moore. 868 00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:04,400 Speaker 1: They enter the Big Ten, they play Michigan, at Iowa, 869 00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:10,600 Speaker 1: USC at Penn State, at Oregon UCLA. There's nothing they 870 00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:12,520 Speaker 1: can do about that. A lot of that's out of 871 00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:15,520 Speaker 1: their control. I mean, they were really aggressive, by the way, 872 00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:17,520 Speaker 1: in trying to keep Kaitlin. De bor I was looking 873 00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:19,919 Speaker 1: at some of the details about what they offered him. 874 00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:24,200 Speaker 1: They offered him north of nine million dollars a year. 875 00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:27,439 Speaker 1: They more than offer to double his salary to keep him. 876 00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,440 Speaker 1: That's how hard they fought before he eventually left to 877 00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:33,560 Speaker 1: go to Alabama. So even if de Boor was still there, 878 00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:35,400 Speaker 1: I'll say it like I said with Michigan and Harbaugh, 879 00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,680 Speaker 1: even if Debor was still there, chances are they were 880 00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:40,960 Speaker 1: taking a step back record wise. So Jedfish is the 881 00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,719 Speaker 1: head coach there now. Now, look, you want a guy 882 00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,680 Speaker 1: who's inheriting a very unsure situation and is able to 883 00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:49,080 Speaker 1: make the most of it, you got the guy. Jeedfish 884 00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,480 Speaker 1: is that guy. We all know what he did in Arizona. 885 00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:55,320 Speaker 1: But that's one. I think. Another one has to be Michigan. 886 00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:57,560 Speaker 1: The team Washington played a few weeks ago in the 887 00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:01,520 Speaker 1: National title game, Michigan as well. Oh goodbye head coach, 888 00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:06,840 Speaker 1: goodbye defensive coordinator. Quarterback's gone. A very very integral part 889 00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,839 Speaker 1: of their program was strength and conditioning. And the coach 890 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:11,719 Speaker 1: that just left to go to the Chargers. That's a 891 00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,880 Speaker 1: big loss for them. They promoted from within it head coach, 892 00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:18,160 Speaker 1: they promoted from within it strength and conditioning. We'll see 893 00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,680 Speaker 1: how that plays out. But they just went undefeated, guys, 894 00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:24,200 Speaker 1: so the percentage chances are overwhelming that they take somewhat 895 00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:28,359 Speaker 1: of a step back. It's Sharon Moore's program now, not 896 00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,520 Speaker 1: just his temporary team. It's his program now, so we 897 00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:35,600 Speaker 1: get to find out what if Sharon Moore Michigan looks like. 898 00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,040 Speaker 1: And it takes a little while for a head coach 899 00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,880 Speaker 1: to have his thumb print put on a program. You 900 00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:42,920 Speaker 1: don't do that in an interim capacity. That's not a 901 00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,000 Speaker 1: knock on him at all. Got all the respect in 902 00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:48,400 Speaker 1: the world for how they handled that entire stretch. I 903 00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:50,360 Speaker 1: don't know when we've ever seen that before. When have 904 00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:54,200 Speaker 1: we seen a head coach suspended twice in a year 905 00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:56,799 Speaker 1: in which they go undefeated and win the title. So 906 00:48:56,840 --> 00:49:00,279 Speaker 1: that was It's really crazy enough to where once you 907 00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:02,200 Speaker 1: get a little removed from it, you look back on 908 00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:05,000 Speaker 1: it and you say, wow, now that you say it 909 00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:08,040 Speaker 1: out loud, that is wilder than I ever realized it was. 910 00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:12,200 Speaker 1: They play four of the top sixteen odds teams in 911 00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:15,920 Speaker 1: college football this upcoming year, so they've got they got 912 00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:18,919 Speaker 1: the crosshairs on their back. Now they've got a very 913 00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,560 Speaker 1: much a tougher schedule this year. You know, Texas goes 914 00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:24,400 Speaker 1: to Michigan this upcoming year, Texas is joined in the 915 00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:27,600 Speaker 1: SEC and also playing Michigan. That ought to be fun, 916 00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:30,919 Speaker 1: and you've got a new not everything but a bunch 917 00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,800 Speaker 1: of newness up there, so you know, stands to reason 918 00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:37,040 Speaker 1: Michigan may take a step back. What about Louisville. Louisville 919 00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,840 Speaker 1: was in the ACC championship game this past year. Louisville 920 00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:42,440 Speaker 1: went ten and two in the regular season, and that 921 00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:45,400 Speaker 1: was partly because Jeff Brom's a stud as a coach 922 00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:48,560 Speaker 1: and partly because they had a workable schedule. Okay, so 923 00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:52,200 Speaker 1: the schedule inverts this year and they've got a much 924 00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:55,040 Speaker 1: tougher draw. They play three of the top four teams 925 00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:58,640 Speaker 1: in the ACC this upcoming year. They play Notre Dame 926 00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:02,120 Speaker 1: in Kentucky out of conf diference. Four of their final 927 00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:06,320 Speaker 1: five weeks are on the road, and they're entirely reliant 928 00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:09,839 Speaker 1: on the portal. Guys, they added twenty six players out 929 00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,920 Speaker 1: of the portal. You want a trivia question that's about 930 00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:17,480 Speaker 1: to stump almost any of your buddies, including the most hardcore, 931 00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:21,880 Speaker 1: diehard college football junkies, Ask them who Louisville starting quarterback 932 00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:27,560 Speaker 1: is this upcoming year. That's not dead air, that's just silence. 933 00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:31,360 Speaker 1: I'm letting you guess. It's Tyler Schuck by way of 934 00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:34,399 Speaker 1: Texas Tech, by way of Oregon. Did I miss any 935 00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:39,399 Speaker 1: other stops. So yeah, it's it's not impossible, but it's 936 00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,919 Speaker 1: going to be tough to reappear in that ACC championship game. 937 00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:44,120 Speaker 1: And now here's what I'm very nervous about. Look at 938 00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:46,000 Speaker 1: my hand. I'm shaking a little bit as I even 939 00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:50,040 Speaker 1: mentioned this. Could Missouri take a step back? I don't 940 00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,120 Speaker 1: know if I want to go down this road. Missouri 941 00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:55,240 Speaker 1: was ten and two, so Eli drink Witz at Missouri 942 00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:58,040 Speaker 1: has gone five and five, six and seven, six and seven, 943 00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:03,960 Speaker 1: eleven and two with the Bowl win. So playing the percentages, 944 00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:08,319 Speaker 1: it stands to reason that Missouri probably falls back. They 945 00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:12,880 Speaker 1: lost some elite defensive staffers, and not just the coordinator. 946 00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:15,560 Speaker 1: I mean Kevin Peeples went along with him, and people's 947 00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:20,279 Speaker 1: really really underrated coach defensively, but their last on this 948 00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:22,400 Speaker 1: list in my mind for a reason, I'm not totally 949 00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:24,719 Speaker 1: sold on this. I'm not totally sold on them just 950 00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:28,680 Speaker 1: taking a giant step back. So there's logic, the percentages, 951 00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:32,319 Speaker 1: and then there's my gut. And luckily it's January so 952 00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:35,560 Speaker 1: we really don't have to commit on this. But I'll 953 00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,960 Speaker 1: just ask it this way. What is Missouri? Is Missouri 954 00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:41,359 Speaker 1: five and five, six and seven, six and seven, or 955 00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:44,960 Speaker 1: are they eleven and two or most likely could they 956 00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,959 Speaker 1: be somewhere in between. They got a good thing going 957 00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:51,040 Speaker 1: on up there. And also what we don't really know is, yes, 958 00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:54,360 Speaker 1: we know the staffers that just left, but Eli Drinkwitz 959 00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:56,400 Speaker 1: is not just going to leave those positions vant vacant. 960 00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:58,600 Speaker 1: He went and hired guys. So let's see how good 961 00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:00,680 Speaker 1: they are as well. I've been throwing around a lot 962 00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:03,560 Speaker 1: of odds, been throwing around a lot of teams. And 963 00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,319 Speaker 1: you know, you play six of the top seven, you 964 00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:09,600 Speaker 1: play three of the bottom four. Where are these odds? Well, 965 00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:12,480 Speaker 1: they're on FanDuel and you can go there right now. 966 00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:16,279 Speaker 1: You can, of course bet the Super Bowl. And huh, Jesse, 967 00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:19,799 Speaker 1: I didn't tell you this, Jesse, big Lions fan. So 968 00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:23,759 Speaker 1: the other day I'm watching the NFC Championship game and 969 00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:27,000 Speaker 1: I have the live betting pulled up by the way, 970 00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:29,839 Speaker 1: little cheat code for you. If you guys are trying 971 00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:32,680 Speaker 1: to live bet this stuff, don't be watching on TV, 972 00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,960 Speaker 1: and don't even be watching on YouTube TV. You can 973 00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,040 Speaker 1: watch the game in the FanDuel app and have the 974 00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:42,239 Speaker 1: live numbers pulled up beneath you. And I was in 975 00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:44,320 Speaker 1: a situation the other day where I had the game 976 00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:47,640 Speaker 1: on TV. There was a physical TV there, so I'm 977 00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:51,120 Speaker 1: watching the broadcast feed and I had YouTube TV pulled up, 978 00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:54,360 Speaker 1: and YouTube TV is ahead of the broadcast feed. Fanduels 979 00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:56,520 Speaker 1: ahead of both of them. I almost think Fanduels in 980 00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:59,720 Speaker 1: the future, and so you're certainly getting the best number 981 00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:02,640 Speaker 1: on live betting. Anyway, they didn't tell me to tell 982 00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:04,520 Speaker 1: you that. I'm just telling you that. So I have 983 00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:08,200 Speaker 1: the prop market pulled up live. And this was right 984 00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:10,719 Speaker 1: as Detroit lost the lead. I think San Fran tied 985 00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:14,880 Speaker 1: it up at twenty four, so I feel good about 986 00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:21,440 Speaker 1: the ensuing Detroit drive. So you can bet individual receivers. Yes, no, 987 00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:24,600 Speaker 1: will they catch a pass on the following drive, and 988 00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:27,440 Speaker 1: Jamis and william had not been Jamison Williams had not 989 00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:29,399 Speaker 1: been active on the previous two drives, so I thought 990 00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:31,920 Speaker 1: early in the following drive, they'll try to get the 991 00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:34,080 Speaker 1: ball to him. He was plus three fifty to catch 992 00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:36,480 Speaker 1: a ball. I bet it. They promptly turned the ball 993 00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:38,960 Speaker 1: over on the first play in the next possession, and 994 00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:43,040 Speaker 1: so I lose my money following drive two catches for JMO. 995 00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:46,719 Speaker 1: So yeah, that ended poorly for me, but didn't have 996 00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:49,239 Speaker 1: to end poorly for you.

All right, let's 1030 00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:48,160 Speaker 1: wrap it up with this. So someone submitted a what 1031 00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:51,040 Speaker 1: they call a radical proposal, and I'll tell you how 1032 00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:54,280 Speaker 1: radical I think it is. Here a lot of change 1033 00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:58,840 Speaker 1: is happening, obviously, so Ryan hit me with his radical idea. 1034 00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:02,000 Speaker 1: He said, the Big Ten on CBS will be better 1035 00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:06,520 Speaker 1: than the SEC on cbsse Now, I gotta admit to you, 1036 00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:10,440 Speaker 1: I don't necessarily know how he means this. He's not 1037 00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:13,080 Speaker 1: talking about the music, because the music's gonna be the same. 1038 00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:16,200 Speaker 1: And for those of you out there who didn't know that, 1039 00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:20,520 Speaker 1: take it upon your boy here to be inside. I'm 1040 00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:23,640 Speaker 1: in the belly of the beast right now. CBS owns 1041 00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:27,399 Speaker 1: this building. They don't own this mic, but CBS figuratively 1042 00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:30,200 Speaker 1: even owns this mic, and therefore I can get some intel. 1043 00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:33,760 Speaker 1: And the SEC on CBS music is not going anywhere. 1044 00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:35,640 Speaker 1: It's just gonna be the Big Ten on CBS music. 1045 00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:37,560 Speaker 1: That's about all I can kind of confirm right now. 1046 00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:43,160 Speaker 1: But as for the proposal, the SEC has been the 1047 00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:47,440 Speaker 1: most dominant league in America for a long time, and 1048 00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:51,840 Speaker 1: now ESPN will hold the rights nearly exclusively to that. 1049 00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:54,200 Speaker 1: I mean, they will exclusively to that league, and the 1050 00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:59,279 Speaker 1: CBS broadcast while it will mostly remain I guess three 1051 00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:02,960 Speaker 1: thirty in the after will be Big ten games. Well, 1052 00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:06,319 Speaker 1: here's what we cannot know. What we cannot know is 1053 00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:10,319 Speaker 1: what does Oregon AD? What does USC AD? What does 1054 00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:16,280 Speaker 1: Washington ad? And also is Penn State always sitting right 1055 00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:19,680 Speaker 1: there just beneath the surface like they have been? Will 1056 00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:25,680 Speaker 1: Michigan State never resurrect themselves? Will Wisconsin be an afterthought 1057 00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:29,520 Speaker 1: or will Luke Fickle raise them to prominence? What will 1058 00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:33,560 Speaker 1: Nebraska be under Matt rule? Well, Iowa always try to 1059 00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:37,680 Speaker 1: win games seven to three. There's a lot unknown about 1060 00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:39,760 Speaker 1: the future of the conference. But I told you guys 1061 00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:44,160 Speaker 1: last summer, and I'll reiterate it one more time. And 1062 00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:47,040 Speaker 1: this is not me shilling for the network. Scratch that 1063 00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:49,720 Speaker 1: I am now shilling for the network. But I'm trying 1064 00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:52,800 Speaker 1: to sell myself on this. First off, Big ten games 1065 00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:55,160 Speaker 1: are very attractive anyway. But what if we're entering an 1066 00:57:55,200 --> 00:58:00,040 Speaker 1: era at just the right time for CBS where the 1067 00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:02,840 Speaker 1: media writes money that is being pumped into the conference 1068 00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:07,280 Speaker 1: is coming with the agreement unspoken, but an agreement that 1069 00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:11,000 Speaker 1: when you guys have job openings like Nebraska, for example, 1070 00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:14,520 Speaker 1: we can't have another Scott Frost. You've got to be aggressive. 1071 00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:17,960 Speaker 1: They were they got Matt Ruhle. When you've got Wisconsin 1072 00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:20,640 Speaker 1: with a job opening, Hey, Paul christ that was good 1073 00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:23,400 Speaker 1: enough for the old Big ten. You guys better get aggressive. 1074 00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:25,920 Speaker 1: Well they did. They hired Luke Fickle. I mean, Michigan 1075 00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:27,680 Speaker 1: State just went and got Jonathan Smith, one of the 1076 00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:29,760 Speaker 1: most underrated coaches in America. So a lot of these 1077 00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:32,960 Speaker 1: places have upgraded the caliber of head coach they have. 1078 00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:37,760 Speaker 1: I would venture to think the upgrade in results won't 1079 00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:40,920 Speaker 1: be too far behind. And it could be. It could 1080 00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:43,640 Speaker 1: be that a new network has walked in at just 1081 00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:47,320 Speaker 1: the right time. Not exclusively, but a new network has 1082 00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:49,320 Speaker 1: walked in just the right time, and they reap the benefits. 1083 00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:51,320 Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, you got the addition of 1084 00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:54,760 Speaker 1: the four newbies from out West, combined with a collective 1085 00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:58,120 Speaker 1: raising of the boats in the bay that already exists. 1086 00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:01,520 Speaker 1: And who knows, maybe two years from now, the Big 1087 00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:05,160 Speaker 1: Ten on CBS is looked at as just a stroke 1088 00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:08,760 Speaker 1: of genius at just the right time. And if that happens, 1089 00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:10,880 Speaker 1: I will take credit, and if it doesn't, I will 1090 00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:14,080 Speaker 1: shirk all the blame elsewhere. Tell us we are very 1091 00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:16,120 Speaker 1: good at it. I appreciate you guys so much for 1092 00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:18,439 Speaker 1: watching the show. I appreciate you guys.
